    (i) 81
    Prime factors of 81 = 3 x 3 x 3 x 3
    Here one factor 3 is not grouped in triplets.
    Therefore 81 must be divided by 3 to make it a perfect cube.
    (ii) 128
    Prime factors of 128 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2
    Here one factor 2 does not appear in a 3’s group.
    Therefore, 128 must be divided by 2 to make it a perfect cube.
    (iii) 135
    Prime factors of 135 = 3 x 3 x 3 x 5
    Here one factor 5 does not appear in a triplet.
    Therefore, 135 must be divided by 5 to make it a perfect cube.
    (iv) 192
    Prime factors of 192 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3
    Here one factor 3 does not appear in a triplet.
    Therefore, 192 must be divided by 3 to make it a perfect cube.
    (v) 704
    Prime factors of 704 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 11
    Here one factor 11 does not appear in a triplet.
    Therefore, 704 must be divided by 11 to make it a perfect cube.
